Procedure: 1.3 g of N,N-di-n-butyl-2-hydroxyacetamide and 1.8 g of methyl 2,3-epoxy-3,3-diphenylpropionate were dissolved in 30 ml of methylene chloride and, while cooling in ice, a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours and then added to sodium bicarbonate solution, the organic phase was separated off and dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by chromatography, and 1.4 g of an oil were isolated and were immediately reacted further. while cooling in ice the organic phase was separated off dried over magnesium sulfate the solvent was distilled off The residue was purified by chromatography

Procedure: 4 g of N,N-di-n-butyl-2-benzyloxyacetamide were dissolved in 50 ml of ethanol, and a spatula tip of Pd/carbon was added. The mixture was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 16 hours, and then the catalyst was filtered off and the solvent was distilled off. 3 g of an oil were isolated and were immediately reacted further. the catalyst was filtered off the solvent was distilled off
